I stayed at the hostel 5 weeks and had a really amazing and unique time. The other volunteers felt like family in no time and made the experience unforgettable. I had 3 days off and plenty of time to explore the island and start taking surf lessons. The hostel had a really nice lay out, the hostel was the best part! The work was very chill and the management was always quick to respond and help in case of any issues in addition they were very flexible towards your days off. Would recommend this hostel to anyone!

This hostel was a great place to enjoy my vacation. I had 3 days off a week, which gave me plenty of time to explore the island. The other volunteers I met were also amazing ❤️❤️ Due to some personal reasons, I had to leave earlier than planned, but the staff were super understanding and let me go without any problem. I'm really sad I couldn't stick to my original plan and had to leave early — but this experience will stay with me as an unforgettable memory.

I stayed at the hostel for 6 weeks, it was an incredible experience, I met so many people and did so many activities. I was there during the "low season" but still I had the opportunity to explore the island and meet new people. the work is very simple and in case of need everyone is very helpful. I recommend going alone and throwing yourself fully into the experience This place will remain in my heart forever

I had such a good time volunteering at the hostel. I had the chance to meet so many nice and fun people who I could hang out with everyday and explore the Island together. I was part of the Apartments team and the work was really chill, only like 2 1/2 hours a day, if we were quick - so I had the rest of the day off and therefore a lot of time to do other things! The whole team grew really close and the whole experience felt like a long holiday with your friends. I would definitely recommend everybody to come to Gran Canaria and join as a Volunteer!

Oh how I enjoyed my time in the hostel. It was amazing to meet people all around the world. I made amazing life long lasting connections and memories. Shifts there was really easy and chill. Hostel manager Carlos is really nice, funny and chill guy, usually if you need some certain days off you will get them :) It was my first volunteer experience and I couldnt ask for anything more, even ended up staying there longer. Las palmas is beautiful place to stay and there is so much to do and see and you for sure will have so much time to explore whole island. 100% recommend!
